Lush Ocean Salt

This is another small offering to my project, but I thought that it deserved it's own blog post. I got this as a free sample (which i've pictured, to show the size of the sample pot) which i'm glad, as I might not have picked it up otherwise. This little pot lasted me a lot longer than I thought it would. I imagined two or three times, but it lasted me about 7 times, and I was quite over-generous with the application, it could have lasted a lot longer, so a little does go a long way! I really liked the smell: the main ingredients are (shock!) Salt, Grapefruit, Lime & Vodka, so yes it does smell like you're putting a margarita on your face...as big cocktail fan, this makes me quite happy!

The first time I applied, I was a little concerned at the size of the grains of salt, it seemed to all fall off my face as I applied.... I think this was because I put way too much on; my tip from future applications would be to wet your face, then apply a little at a time to the different sections of your face. This way, you find that you need a lot less, as you can spread these little patches around, and exfoliate your whole face. Then just gently rinse off, then pat your face dry.

With all the salt, citrus and alcohol you'd think that this would be quite drying, but this is really not the case, my skin felt clean, but not dry at all afterwards. I noticed an immediate difference, my skin felt really clear and noticably softer, I loved it! I think this would be too strong or astringent as a daily thing, but good once or twice a week. For the record my skin is like this...normal on my cheeks, but with a more of an oily t-zone. This works well for me, but may not be suitable for people with more dry skin. I'd definitely recommend asking for a sample so you can try it out for yourself.

I will be most definitely buying this when I finish up the project. For the time being I have two more exfoliating scrub type products to use up first :( sad face, but I will feel super excited and deserving when I do get to buy it!!
